01x09 - What hurts the Most

[bunniefuu]

[Title Montage]

[Song playing]

[Ratan] I have

spent half my life with you.

And I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

Will you marry me?

[Song playing]

[Ronobir] You don't hate me.

You said so.

But you do feel.

[Song playing]

[Kusum] It is easy

to lie to yourself.

But it's very difficult

to evade the truth.

[Song playing]

[Kusum] I had convinced myself

that I'll be happy with you.

After all, you are my friend.

And you can spend

your life with a friend.

[Song playing]

[Kusum] But the fact is that

Ronobir is not a memory anymore.

He is my reality.

Ratan, I want to muster the

courage and face the truth.

[Song playing]

[Knocks on door]

- Who are you?

- Who are you?

I'm Dr. Bagchi's fiance.

All this. You hid it from me?

[Breathing heavily]

And with these t*rrorists

They are not t*rrorists.

Naxalites.

They are poor farmers who

are fighting for their rights.

And what does the

government do but beat them?

I'm a doctor.

I can at least save their lives.

[Sighs]

[Kusum] Why did you hide it?

Don't you trust me?

Trust?

I saw you.

With him.

With Ronobir.

[Thundering]

[Ratan] My fiance.

You were never mine.

[Thundering]

Ratan, I'm sorry.

[Ratan] Don't be.

You didn't do this intentionally.

[Ratan] You had said yes to me.

But you still have

feelings for him.

I know you. You are helpless.

Please go.

[Song playing]

Good morning.

What happened?

[Priyanka] Didn't you sleep

all night?

I have lost sleep for good.

Is the excitement of engagement

keeping you up?

[Giggling]

Ronobir,

you work so much.

[Monalisa] You came

so late yesterday.

And left without informing me.

You could have stayed

with me for some time.

Not fair.

Priyanka.

Let's not waste time.

Should we do some work?

Dr. Ronobir

[Aircraft sound]

[News on radio] Pakistan launched

a full scale w*r against us.

The Pakistan air force suddenly

struck at our air team in Amritsar,

Pathankot, Srinagar, Avantipur,

Uttarlai, Jodhpur, Ambala and Agra.

Their ground forces are shelling

our defence positions

in Sulemanki, Devkaran,

Poonch and other sectors.

[Ronobir] India-Pakistan

w*r was on.

There were casualties

on both sides.

On one hand, confusion and

chaos was rising because of w*r.

[b*mb blasts]

On the other hand,

Kusum was about to find answers

to certain questions.

[Ronobir] As of today morning,

a w*r has begun between

India and Pakistan.

And this w*r is not happening

somewhere far in the hills.

It is happening right here.

In our neighbourhood.

Very close to us.

Bengal is going to burn.

But we'll focus only on our duty.

Not just Cholera.

Even the soldiers wounded

on the front will be coming to us.

In huge numbers.

And we'll have to make

space for all of them.

Come what may.

But we have limited

oxygen and medicines.

We have made all the arrangements.

[Ronobir] The photoshoot we did

with film star, Monalisa

last month,

we have collected a lot

of money through charity.

All that money will

be used for the soldiers.

No patient will be sent

back from our hospital.

- All the best.

- [Priyanka] Kusum,

Dr. Ronobir got a call from

his army contact last night

saying that w*r

is about to start.

He collected all the

cheques from Monalisa.

He deposited them as soon as

the bank opened in the morning.

In fact, the fees

Dr. Dasgupta paid him,

he deposited that

in our emergency fund.

Nobody's treatment

will be stopped in our hospital.

Isn't he wonderful?

[Song playing]

[Kusum] Take him

to ward number four. I am coming.

Tired?

Do I have the right to get tired?

[Ronobir] Oh come on.

We are humans. You need to rest.

Rest for a while.

Don't do this, Kusum.

- What?

- Acting.

[Ronobir] Pretending that there

was nothing between you and me.

You can't lie to me and yourself.

I have nothing to say.

Because I said everything.

[Ronobir] I shouldn't have.

I should have controlled myself.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't Don't say sorry.

[Kusum] Don't do all this.

This great doctor

Ronobir with a big heart.

You are not this.

You are free to think

what you want.

I know.

You're not a messiah.

Then why are you doing this?

[Kusum] You are the boy

who impregnated me and

You are a b*stard.

So be just that.

Don't confuse me.

I want to hate you.

[Ronobir] You love me.

And you hate it.

That's why you are

stopping yourself.

And I will let you be.

If you ever muster the courage

to tell the truth to yourself

I'll be waiting.

Life has given a second chance,

Kusum.

Don't let it go.

[Nurse] Dr. Ronobir,

there's a call from your house.

I'll be there.

[Ronobir] If you ever muster

the courage to tell

the truth to yourself

I'll be waiting.

Sister Priyanka, where did

Dr. Ronobir go?

I don't know.

He got a call from his home.

He seemed tense.

And then he left urgently.

Hello. I am Kusum.

Ganguly?

[Ronobir's Mother] I know.

You work with Ronobir, right?

You have come to see Mishti.

She has fever.

So I called Ronobir

and asked him to come.

Now that you are here,

you can also help.

[Thundering]

[Puts ice in glass]

[Ronobir's Mother] Bourbon

or gin?

Sorry. I don't drink.

Have the gin.

It is from London.

- You are not married?

- No.

[Ronobir's Mother] I keep telling

Ronobir all the time that

it's time to settle down.

Cheers.

How long do I take care

of the girl?

She is a bright young thing.

I keep telling Rono.

Find a girl and get married.

I keep getting so many proposals.

Even from the actress, Monalisa.

But he wants a homely girl.

He is very clear in his thought.

Since he is a doctor

the girl should be a caretaker.

Like a nurse.

He has mentioned a

couple of times about you.

For him, you are perfect.

He knows you'll make

his daughter your priority.

And that's what he is looking for.

I think I said a bit much.

After the death of Rono's father,

I'm having a bit much

of his favourite drink.

Bourbon and water.

He was such a simple man.

He wouldn't add ice either.

Anyway, he is gone.

Sujata is gone.

Rono is very busy.

I have to take care

of Mishti entirely.

[Ronobir's Mother] How

long am I going to do that?

I just want to a grandmother

to her.

Somebody who spoils her.

She needs a mother.

Don't know if Ronobir

has said this to you or not?

But you're exactly

the woman who can give

some other woman's

child the mother's love.

I know you must

be having your doubt.

But darling,

you are not getting any younger.

And you know, Rono is still

one of the most eligible

bachelors of Kolkata.

Any girl would be lucky

to have him.

Yes. I think this

arrangement is good.

For everyone. Right?

Mother,

these are Mishti's medicines.

Kusum? Hi.

Sorry. I didn't know.

You say sorry for everything.

See you. Bye.

[Ronobir] Kusum.

Are you looking for

a mother for your daughter?

There is

There is no need to make

false promise of love to me.

Why do you think

that I am lying to you?

Because that's what you do.

You lie.

I I'm so silly for I consider

your lies to be the truth.

I'm such a fool.

You are a fool if

you are thinking anything else.

Ronobir Chatterjee.

You'll get lots

of London return prospects.

- Stop toying with my feelings.

- Kusum.

- Kusum

- I'm done.

Are you done?

I love you.

I love you.

- You don't. You just

- Listen to me.

I didn't plan all this.

I didn't come here planning

to fall in love with you.

I didn't even know

if I'll ever meet you again.

After Sujata's death,

my priorities changed.

She taught me.

I have only two regrets.

One is that I wished I had

loved her while she was alive.

And the other is that I wish

you had met me now.

And not when we met.

I am not looking for

a mother for my daughter.

I don't have any

expectations from you.

I am not lying to you.

I don't have any hidden agenda.

It is love.

Simple plain love.

Brother

[Subhash] I searched

the entire hospital for you.

And you're drinking here all alone.

You should have called me.

[Ronobir] I am not

feeling lonely at all.

I'm drinking with father.

I didn't even have a sip in India.

I didn't get the time.

You know, I should

have listened to father.

He knew me better than myself.

Today, I understand

what father had told me then.

A diagnosis.

A death.

The whole world would change.

Sujata did all three things

at once.

[Ronobir] And left me

here to reprioritise my life.

I am going to India.

To fight against Cholera.

[Giggling]

Cholera.

To help those

the world

Those who are forgotten

by the world.

[Ronobir] That night when

Kusum left, neither of us

knew that our lives were

going to change for good.
